Inhambane city is situated on a peninsula on Mozambique’s south coast and was once an important port. Situated approximately 470 km's northeast of Maputo, it is the capital of the Inhambane Province.

The Portuguese established a permanent settlement and trading post at Inhambane in 1534, making it one of the oldest settlements in Southern Africa.
The city boasts impressive architecture and the 170 year old Cathedral of our Lady of Conception is located in the old quarter of the city where a rusted ladder leads to the top of the spire. If you prepared to risk the rusty ladder, the panoramic views of the city and harbour are worth it.
The central market is on the main boulevard (Mercado Central) and offers numerous foods including spices, vegetables, fish and cashew nuts.
Inhambane has the largest fleet of dhows in Mozambique.
